Drowning girl statue causes a stir in Bilbao

Staring impassively out from the murky waters of Bilbao's River Nervion, the eerily lifelike face of a young girl drowning in the tide has been unsettling people in the Spanish city since she appeared unannounced last week.

Food for thought. And of course " Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder " but I do find it a bit cynical that the commissioning party is a bank. Especially seeing the subject is about sustainability ( although I do not want to go into a political debate ).

On the brighter side a friend of mine from France sent me some photos of street art in Burgos depicting various motifs on a cut out of pilgrims hiking through the city.

My friend @pinkwadingbird posted about this on Facebook. She said that the plan is to eventually move these silhouettes onto the Camino as additional waymarks.
